Pre-Buy Inspections

Why have a pre-buy inspection? First of all, money as it can save you hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars. Secondly, it will give you the confidence that you have purchased the best vehicle for your money. You can also use it in your negotiations over the price of the car. During the excitement of buying a ?gnew?h car it is easy to miss mechanical, safety and cosmetic items while looking over and test driving a vehicle you want to purchase. If this vehicle comes with no warranty it is a MUST that you get a pre-buy inspection done by a reputable and qualified automotive repair shop. You may have a friend that is mechanically inclined, but are they knowledgeable enough to know what to look for and do you want to take the chance? After your pre-buy, if you still want to buy the car, go back to the seller and negotiate a lower price based on what was found wrong with the car. Do your research beforehand on a website like www.NADA.com which can tell how much a used vehicle is worth. Most of all, keep an open mind and use common sense.
